Children'S Day.

Some years ago, the second
Sunday in June was set apart by the
Methodist Episcopal Church as Chill
dren's Day, to be generally observed
by the Sunday Schools throughout
Methodism. The collections taken on
that day are to be given to the cause
of education. Year by year the plan
has grown in favor, until now Chill
dren's Day is celebrated not only
throughout the length and breadth of
the United States, but in foreign coun-
tries as we'll.
In accordance with this custom,
appropriate services will be held at
the M. E. Church, in this city, next
Sunday, June 18th. 1t is expected
that both morning and evening SER
vices will be of unusual interest. The
morning service, given almost entirely
by the Sunday School. will consist of
music, responsive readings, ,recitations,
etc. All are invited to attend.

Two gentlemen standing on the corner
near Rhodes h Troxell's store yesterday
were speaking of crack shots they had
seen in different places. They say that
this Leonard Detz, of Fort Russell" said
one, can score just as many bull. eyes as
he wishes at 1000 yards"
"A bulls-eye is nothing. shutting a can
die at $50 PAGES is ordinary pastime for a
boy in my native town"
That's pretty well. but Jack Watkins
used to throw a tin can in the air ard
place twelve bullets in it before it could
strike the ground"
"Of course that's first rate, but this
schoolmate of mine always hunted ducks
with a small rife, and would bet even
money that he could hit a flying bird in
the eye every time"
wing shooting is quite an accomplish
ment, but this Fort Russell lad attempts
more difficult feats. His finest shot is to
remove a portion of the fuz from a peach
at 500 yards"
Can he do that ?"
Yes sir; nine times out of ten"
well, | give up. The medal is yours.
The Fast is worsted."

IFogg's Ferry.

The comedy of Fogg's Ferry will be the
opening play of the DeLorme-N Neal COM
pany. The Lincoln, Neb., Daily State
Journal says:
The DeLorme-Neal company opened
their engagement last night with a full
house. and the character of the entertain
ment they furnished insures them SINH
lar reception for each evening during their
stay in the city. The company plays
Fog9's Ferry in a very commendable
manner. 1t is by nc means a heavy pro-
duction nor strikingly original in plot, but
it is built upon a plan hat never fails to
please. Kitty DeLorme as Chip" made
a very favorable impression. Mr.. Neal
in the role of Still Bill proved himself
an excellent and meritorious artist.

"FRoM SIRE TO soN.o
Mr.. Mobiles Latest Effort in the Play
Writing Line.

Mr. Milton Mobiles may p'ssibly be able
to plead ~extenuating circumstances to JUS
tify him in the preparation of the play
which was presented at the opera house
last evening, for, taken as a whole, it is
difficult to imagine anything that could be
much worse. The play From Sire to
Son resembles something which Mrs. E.
d. r. N. Southworth or Miss Braddon
might have written at a season when they
were unfit for mental labor and as the
very best efforts of these cultured ladies
are always painful to a pure literary taste
it can be imagined that Mr.. Mobiles latest
play is pretty nearly as bad as this great
American public can bear. The scene is
laid in California, at a mining camp in the
early days. 1t shows many people who
painfully endeavor to assume the frank
and unconventional air of frontier resi-
dents. There are gamblers of the kind you
read about in the interesting pages of Bret
Harte, and some of them wear clothes that
are flashy enough to scare domesticated
animals. The play contains passages
which might readily be palmed off on an
unsuspecting public for fine writing.
Jaunty knavery, mystery. GOODNESS, which
wouldn't quail before a buzz saw-these
the hero unites in his own proper person.
Gore doesn't flow with its accustomed
prodigality, for only two corpses are actu
ally produced for the edi6cation
of the audience, although the
hero. with charming frankness, confesses
to a number of murders. The incidents of
the play follow each other casually rather
than c~onsecutively. There is no possible ex
cuse or justification for the fourth act.
1t is prurient in its suggestiveness and
contains nothing but its stage setting
which should not be eliminated before a
respectable audience. There are bits here
and there which appeal to the finer feel
ings, but they do not come to the surface
with startling frequency. Milton Mobiles
is not the greatest American playwright,
but his dramas have brought him money
and a certain degree of fame. They are
all ephemeral in character and find a pop
ularity which is fleeing. From Sire to
Son is in every respect the very worst Mr..
Mobiles has written.
Louis f. Howard as Peter Grimes"
and Thomas M. Hunter as ''Dr. Marina
duke Mandrake gave very entertaining
performances. Dollie Mobiles gave a very
sympathetic characterization while the re-
mainder of the cast averaged up fairly
well without giving evidences of binding
brillIancy. The stage setting was good
and the audience of respectable proper
lions.
Fog1's Ferry will be presented on
Monday and Tuesday evenings.

To Labor with the Heather.

Rev. DR.. Jonathan Wilson and six
female missionaries were west bound pas
sengers last evening. The party will
separate and board steamers at San Fran
cisco and eventually land at mission stations
in Siam, India and China. The reverend
gentleman in charge of the devout women
who leave civilization for the purpose OF
converting the natives of the countries
which they visit to christianity is a
class mate of DR.. j. Y. Cowhick, formerly
pastor of the First Presbyterian church.
The old friends chatted pleasantly of the
past while the train waited last evening,
recalling many an almost forgotten irci-
dent of former years.

A EArAL
Harry Minard Falls From the Dome Of
the Capitol.

Harry Willard. a workman employed
on the roof of the capitol building, fell
from the lower portion Of the dome to the
ground yesterday afternoon and sustained
fatal injuries about the head and face.
He was unconscious though still breath
ing at $3.50 o'clock this morning, but can
not survive twentY-four hours longer.
Though accustomed to working upon
lofty structures the accident was evidently
caused by an attack of dizziness upon the
unfortunate man, who was assisting in
placing the covering about the base of the
dome. He first fell to a point near the
edge of the caves of the roof, grappled
for some object with a view to saving
himself, rolled from the dizzy height and
a moment later his Bleeding and mangled
form was picked from the ground by his
fellow workmen.
The victim of the terrible fall was at
once conveyed to the hospital and every
effort made to relieve his sufferings.
During the long night an attendant sat
beside the wounded man and bathed the
terrible bruises about his head. One of
these created a cavity in the skull and
must have been caused by contact with a
sharp stone among the rubbish in which
he fell.
Millard's friends in Denver and the
East have been apprised of the occurrence
of the accident but no answer has yet
been received from any of those informed
of the tragedy.
This is the first accident of a serious
nature which has occurred since the in
auguration o fwcrk upon the capitol build
ing, and it is deeply regretted by the men
in charge of the construction Of the edifce.
Several workmen who caught sight of
the falling form of poor Milliard were in.
capacitatcd for work during the remainder
of the day. and one of them was so
affected by the accident that he is now
